So Son lacks intelligence and technical ability? because he's been practically our worst player of late.
I don't think Son is the most intelligence footballer nor do I think outside of his ball striking ability, he's that technical either no.
Have you watched Son over the years? Brilliant when given space. Pretty poor when he isn't.
We've gone into the transfer market already for Ange,with Johnson, Dragusin (played about 10 mins) and Werner - how's that worked out? Johnson shows signs but games like last night he looks atrocious - at the moment the jury is out on that £50 million.
Don't really think there's been much wrong with Ange signings on the whole.
Vicario, van de Ven and Maddison were all huge upgrades. Dragusin is a good third choice centre back. I don't really think Solomon or Warner were Ange choices, just options presented (certainly Werner) and Johnson is a bit too inconsistent.
Hopefully Bergvall proves to be a star and we continue to make good signings in the summer. We'll need to.
Individually our back 5 is excellent and yet as a unit it's all over the shop - whose fault is that OR you want to get rid of them all?
The back five are the bravest players we have.
Fault for shipping goals lies solely on the fact our front players are so poor technically they're constantly turning over possession whilst we're high and susceptible to the break.
Improve that, we'll concede less, simple.
I don't necessarily want to get rid of Ange but I have no idea what Ange ball is anymore and it's increasingly concerning that it's been sussed out and he has no answers for it. We are starting from square 1 now and it's ANGE'S FAULT and he needs to bloody figure it out - and judging from last night's post match interview he's well aware of that. He's never been under this pressure in his career and he's 58. The whole thing is very very worrying
Not really sure it's been sussed out when we're not even playing with the same intensity.
I implore you go back and watch some of the earlier games of the season. Movement, pressing, speed of play.
If anything I think it's shown that at the beginning of the season literally every single player was on form or playing above their level and because the squad is so limited in ability, they quite simply have to be playing at that level to succeed. Injuries, suspensions, international tournaments halted not only that group of players fitness but form too. Which in turn for whatever reason has dented their confidence and belief.
It's definitely down to Ange to sort. And whilst none of us like the results. I think in the long run, this is a good thing because now nothings clouded. We've got a much bigger sample size on these players to know who can cut it and who can't. First 10 games? Bissouma was one of the best midfielders in the league for example. After 33? Perhaps not.
Massive summer ahead.
